Poisonous girls are hard to find: the king's arrogant favorite concubine

Chapter 26
The next day, the General's Mansion.

"Miss, the rumors outside have gone crazy." Furong saw Ding Jiuxi get up, so she told Ding Jiuxi all the rumors inside and outside the mansion.

People in the entire imperial capital are rumoring that the third miss of the Ding family was bitten by a snake and became a dirty ass. She recruited mice to the Ding family's kitchen, beat the slaves, and killed the Ding family's cook.

"Miss, how can these rumors outside so demonize miss, you are such a kind person."

"Calm down, the rumors are not credible." Ding Jiuxi had already dressed and washed, finished eating the steamed buns and pickles for breakfast brought by Qiu Yi, and walked into the garden.

Just after the Double Ninth Festival, a variety of chrysanthemums were placed in the garden of the General's Mansion. Ouyang Qian invited some wives of high-ranking officials to come to the General's Mansion to appreciate the chrysanthemums.

The wives of these high-ranking officials are very shameless about Ouyang Qian's status as a concubine, but Ouyang Qian's sister is the current queen, so she can't let go of the opportunity to curry favor with the queen's younger sister.Besides, everyone knows that Ouyang Qian is also in charge of the general's mansion now.

"Is this Ouyang Qian's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party today?" Before Ding Jiuxi arrived at the garden, he saw some noble ladies strolling towards the garden with their unmarried children.

Furong told Ding Jiuxi, "The unmarried children of all the dignitaries can watch it freely at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party, and the eldest lady will sing poems with them."

"Oh? It turned out to be a blind date meeting. Ding Ruoxue's target should not be the people present." Ding Jiuxi looked at the people present now.

"Let's go, let's go to appreciate the chrysanthemums too." Ding Jiuxi strolled towards the place Ouyang Qian prepared for young people, found a stool and sat down, staring at a yellow chrysanthemum not far away.

"Hey! Isn't this the third lady of the Ding family? Why are you dressed so shabby? Isn't your ass bitten by a snake? How can you still sit?" Mrs. Liu Shangshu has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. She always catches any topic without letting it go.

Ding Jiuxi's eyes were still fixed on the chrysanthemum, and he said lightly, "Mrs. Laoliu is worried about it. It is my second sister Ding Caiqing who was bitten by a snake."

"Second Miss of the Ding family? Haha, it turns out that she has turned into an ugly ass, haha!" Mrs. Liu seemed to be fine when she saw Ding Jiuxi, but when she thought of the joke, she still laughed.

At this time, with the support of Su Peixin, Ding Caiqing endured the pain in her buttocks and walked to the garden like a normal person.He just heard Mrs. Liu's voice, and many people were laughing in agreement.

"Ding Jiuxi, you bitch!" Ding Caiqing ignored everything, pushed Su Peixin away, and rushed towards Ding Jiuxi to curse.

Ding Jiuxi was still looking at the chrysanthemum, as if Ding Caiqing didn't exist.

"This is the second young lady of the Ding family, haha, is your butt already healed?" Mrs. Liu just wanted to join in the fun, so she came to add fuel to the joke.

The ladies around all hid their faces and snickered, pointing at Ding Caiqing, Ding Caiqing was annoyed by Ding Jiuxi's ignorance, and was about to go up and slap Ding Jiuxi, but Ding Jiuxi suddenly stood up, and Ding Caiqing fell down .

The moment Ding Caiqing fell down, he saw Ouyang Qian's livid face and fiery eyes, and was so frightened that he could only pretend to be dizzy.

Su Peixin quickly asked someone to help Ding Caiqing back to the room with him.

"Obviously the rumors outside have already turned into Ding Jiuxi, why did Ding Jiuxi turn into me again just by saying a word?" Ding Caiqing was so angry that she wanted Su Peixin to tell herself.

Su Peixin analyzed to Ding Caiqing what happened on the day of being bitten by a snake, and explained the cause and effect, and advised Ding Caiqing to stop hating Ding Jiuxi, it had nothing to do with Ding Jiuxi, and advised Ding Caiqing to recover from his injuries.

Ding Caiqing still couldn't get rid of the resentment in her heart.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party has now reached the stage of poetry competition. In previous years, in various poetry competitions, Li Yanzi, the number one talented woman, was the one who stole the show. Ding Ruoxue always believed that her poems and Li Yanzi were equally as good.

This time, everyone suggested that everyone should write only one line of poems, instead of long lines like before.

"His Royal Highness is here!" At this moment, the voice of the eunuch Prism next to the prince suddenly sounded in the garden.

Everyone was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the prince, and they all greeted the prince.

Ding Jiuxi only looked up, and then continued to look down at the previous chrysanthemum.

Mo Ziqing, the prince of Zhao State, has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he has a gentle smile between his cynicism.He died at the hands of Mo Ran in his previous life.

Mo Ziqing didn't come to the General's Mansion alone to appreciate the chrysanthemums, he was accompanied by Mo Ran, and even brought Xuan Che, the proton of Yan Kingdom.

The three beautiful men walked together, which was very eye-catching. The ladies and daughters present all made no secret of their admiration. .

"Today, this hall is only here to appreciate the chrysanthemums. You are free to do whatever you want." Mo Ziqing heard about the third lady of the Ding family being bitten by a snake while drinking tea with Mo Ran, and asked Mo Ran and himself to join in the fun , Seeing Yan Guo’s proton on the way, he ordered Xuan Che to come along.

"His Royal Highness, Ruoxue is being polite." Ding Ruoxue was afraid that the prince would not see her, so she swayed to the prince and saluted.

"Excuse me." Mo Ziqing glanced at Ding Jiuxi who was actually sitting on the stool looking at the chrysanthemums on the ground in a daze, so he knew that the third miss of the Ding family hadn't been bitten by a snake, so he calmly asked Ding Ruoxue to get up.

Ding Ruoxue saw the prince talking to her so gently, and thought that the prince had a crush on her.

"Today we are appreciating chrysanthemums and meeting friends through poetry. Please, sister Li Yanzi, be the first to write a poem!" Ding Ruoxue knew that Mo Ziqing would not participate, so she asked Li Yanzi to write a poem first.

Li Yanzi didn't refuse, but the man she liked was Mo Ran.Li Yanzi looked at the chrysanthemums of various colors, and was preparing a poem, hoping to make Mo Ran remember herself.

However, Mo Ran was dissatisfied with Ding Ruoxue's behavior of only saluting to Mo Ziqing and ignoring his own behavior just now, and the idea of ​​conquering Ding Ruoxue arose in his heart.

"Light red, light white, deep yellow, fresh makeup bursting with fragrance." Li Yanzi blurted out such a poem when it appeared in his mind.

"Good poetry! Miss Li Yanzi is so talented!" Mo Ziqing originally wanted to talk to Ding Jiuxi, but he approved of the poems read by Li Yanzi, because now he could smell the fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Xuan Che had already walked not far from Ding Jiuxi, and had been looking at Ding Jiuxi for a while.

Because Xuan Che had heard the rumors about Ding Jiuxi from Xin Hua early in the morning, and remembered the incident of rejecting Ding Jiuxi yesterday, he inexplicably wanted to see Ding Jiuxi. On the way to the General's Mansion, he was forced to come by the Prince accompany.

Seeing Ding Jiuxi sitting safely on the stool, Xuan Che let go of his inexplicable feeling, and looked at the chrysanthemum that Ding Jiuxi had been staring at.

The young men and women present were racking their brains to think of lines of poetry, how could they surpass Li Yanzi's lines.

Ding Jiuxi felt very familiar when he heard the verses read by Li Yanzi, just like the verses he seemed to have seen in modern times, it should be the verses of a certain Ming Dynasty.Could it be that Li Yanzi is a time traveler?

Ding Jiuxi was about to give it a try, when he was about to speak.

"Sister, you read a lot of poetry and books on weekdays, let everyone see your talent today!" Ding Ruoxue saw Ding Jiuxi's dumbfounded look, and knew that Ding Jiuxi didn't read much, so she just wanted to read Ding Jiuxi's joke.

"Haha, Ms. Ding San has read a lot of poetry and books. What a joke. At the garden party last time, Ms. Ding San didn't even know some words, so don't make a fool of herself by reading poetry!" .

"My sister accepted my sister's compliment. It's not too late for Madam Liu to laugh later." Ding Jiuxi left the stool, stood up, and stretched his waist. This arrogant posture seemed to ignore the people present inside.

Ding Jiuxi started to take a step, took seven steps slowly, and picked off the chrysanthemum that he had been looking at for a long time.

"Sister, you should hurry up and write poetry!" Ding Ruoxue urged regardless of her image, she really couldn't understand Ding Jiuxi.

"The fragrance soaring to the sky penetrates the imperial capital, and the whole city is covered with golden armor." Ding Ruoxue read out this line, and threw the chrysanthemum in her hand, right at Xuan Che's feet.

"Good! Good! Good!" All the men present couldn't help admiring, the soaring fragrance and the golden armor are really domineering!
Mo Ziqing looked at Ding Jiuxi with eyes full of appreciation, but Mo Ran felt that Ding Jiuxi seemed to be a different person.Just the literal meaning of this poem is amazing, and the princes can even feel the joy of being king when they hear it.

After Ding Jiuxi finished the poem, seeing that there was nothing unusual about Li Yanzi, she knew that Li Yanzi's poem was indeed written by herself, and it was just a coincidence.

Ding Jiuxi just glanced at Xuan Che and left before everyone realized that she was about to leave the garden.

Xuan Che silently picked up the chrysanthemum at his feet, put it in his left sleeve, but clenched his right hand tightly inside the sleeve.

"The fragrance soaring to the sky penetrates the imperial capital, and the entire city is covered with golden armor." This poem is completely the ambition in Xuan Che's heart, but it seems very far away now, the entire city is covered with golden armor, it is really a wonderful sentence!
Xuan Che's silent ambition seemed to be aroused.There was a sudden pain in the heart, Xuan Che's illness was about to attack.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Club was held after Ding Jiuxi left, that is, everyone enjoyed the flowers and drank tea, and no longer wrote poems.

As Mo Ziqing took Mo Ran and Xuan Che to leave the General's Mansion, the ladies also took their children to leave quickly.

"Ding Jiuxi, I'm at odds with you!" Ding Ruoxue knew that Ding Jiuxi had won the limelight today, and when she returned to her room, she started throwing things, and beat the maids in her room indiscriminately, cursing in her mouth Ding Jiuxi.

Ding Jiuxi went back to the room with a lilac cross-stitch pillow and sent it to the old lady.The old lady was not interested in the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, and she didn't send anyone to inquire about it. Because of the rats in the kitchen yesterday, she couldn't eat.

The lilac flower pillow sent by Ding Jiuxi made the old lady very happy, and she also had an appetite for dinner in an instant.

As soon as Xuan Che left the general's mansion, his illness started to flare up, and he suppressed the pain so much that he seemed to pass out.With Mo Ziqing's acquiescence, Mo Ran threw Xuan Che on the street.

Xuan Che's handsome and extraordinary face was lying on the street in a rather pervasive way because of his closed brows and abnormal paleness, his left sleeve was still firmly grasping the chrysanthemum.
